"Fantastic!!!! Staff really friendly and even gave me complimentary dishes as I had gone two days in a row. Can't fault anything. Only complaint is that the portions are too big; don't eat anything before visiting as you will definitely be full. Highly recommend this awesome place. The £21.99 platter is a real good deal. You get the hot and cold meze starter, platter of meats with rice, dessert of your choice and tea or coffee. The second time I just had the mixed grill and that too was good value at £12.99."

"great food, friendly staff and decor. alana, great work, keep it up. we were great within seconds after the entrance of the door, they could even postpone our booking as we were early. starter came fast and tasted absolutely amazing. we couldn't blame them in the least. our net, that was the smetterling pad thai was also something I would recommend. perfectly dimensioned, tasted from this world and something I would order again and again. the only thing I was disappointed was not getting a cold, but my partner did. the puddings were also brilliant, the chocolate exploded with taste and really satisfied that sweet tooth I had demanded. all in all we loved our experience and felt that our server alana was 10 out of 10. she helped us in our order, had a brilliant presentation and offered us an amazing customer service. the only one I was not satisfied with was the service fee that was added without warning. there may have been signs that I did not see, but I only found out when I was flipped and said that this was added automatically."

"Very pleased with Sunday lunch as a carvery and the usual menu was offered and we like varied dishes. First class service, easy free parking around the back and a nice walk along the adjacent lane made it a lovely experience. We will be back. We did come back and had the fajitas. They were too hot taste wise which spoilt the flavours. Please ask if cool, medium or very hot needed thanks. WARNING I guess we did not notice on our first visit but the menu prices did NOT include VAT. This was added at the end of the whole bill including drinks etc and bumped up the bill by 20%. In view of this I was unable to afford a decent tip. This is the first time I have had a menu not including VAT. I cannot recommend this pub on that basis as it is totally underhand to to charge that way and gives a feeling of being ripped off to your customers. It may affect repeat business. Please include VAT in the menu prices and we might comeback."

"My boyfriend and I had dinner at Lovage on Valentine's Day and the food was fantastic, some of the best Indian food we've ever had. The service was fantastic for friendliness and efficiency. The music was also lovely and very relaxing, without being too loud or overbearing. I highly recommend eating at Lovage."

"Food was average, the staff are lovely apart from the manager/owner who is very rude and abrupt, second time trying this place out and was not impressed, thought maybe first time because they where busy the customer service was bad but even when the place was quiet, still the same service. Lime bar restaurant next door is much better!"

"I'm a sucker for the sizzle of tandoori on a hot serving plate so it was no surprise that as soon I saw a Chicken Tikka starter 3.70) coming out of the serving hatch, I'd be ordering the same myself. But for all the sizzle and smoke in New Jomuna (and there is a lot of smoke in the upper section where the food comes out) there wasn't much taste. The chicken was tender, the marinade was red, but alas that famous tandoori taste had left the building. Oh dear, I thought. It really takes an effort to persuade my friend who is sitting opposite me to come out for a curry not because he doesn't like it, it's just that his Indian wife of many years cooks a mean curry so it's a case of coals...read more"

"We were left feeling disappointed as we really wanted to like this restaurant. Each time we have visited, we have experienced very little to no service. It took us 15 minutes to be acknowledged when we arrived, despite standing in front of the bar. During this time, two staff members were busy adding items to the till. A simple "hi, be right there" would have been appreciated. Unfortunately, this lack of service has been a recurring issue. Despite having to go to the bar for drinks, we managed to place our order. However, we were informed about 5 minutes later that they did not have what we had ordered. After changing our order, we were again told after 10 minutes that they did not have what we wanted, even though it was on the menu. Overall, we found the experience to be disappointing, primarily due to the lack of service. It has the potential to be a great restaurant, but it appears that being understaffed is a significant issue for them."

"I was aimlessly wandering around and came upon this gem in a neighborhood lined with pretty shops and gorgeous homes. It seems to be frequented by local residents, which was exactly what I was looking for, and it has a little shop that sells fruits, vegetables, pasta, olive oils, etc. I ordered Spaghetti Bolognese, which was perfectly cooked, hot and topped with just the right amount of parmesan. The meat sauce has to be the recipe from someone's little, old nonna. It was out of this world. I couldn't finish it so I took the leftovers to go along with a scrumptious piece of strawberry cheesecake and a bag filled with oil, vinegar, chips and sweets! Thank you, James I wish I knew how to spell your real name!!"

"Superb food with very good service. Would highly recommend. We visited on a Tuesday evening and had the 4 course banquet meal which is poppadom , starter, main course and ice cream desert (limited courses) . It’s only £13.95. Absolute bargain and very good quality. Such was the quality that we Would pay the extra for other times. One of the best Indian meals we have had in a long time"

"I have dined at this restaurant several times in the past and always had a good experience. However, my most recent experience has made me decide never to return. I placed a takeaway order through their website at 6.15pm with a delivery time of 6.50pm. By 7.20pm, my order had still not arrived and after trying to call the restaurant multiple times with no answer, I finally got through. I was told to call a different number, which I refused to do. When I asked about my order, I was informed that the machine was broken and they had no intention of fulfilling it. They had still charged me for the order and were accepting online orders despite knowing about the issue for days. The staff were incredibly rude and unapologetic. I was told I would receive a refund the next day or maybe sometime the following week, which made me lose all trust in their word. Overall, this experience has left me extremely disappointed and I do not expect to receive my refund anytime soon."

"We have visited this restaurant multiple times with both family and friends and have never been let down. The staff are incredibly friendly and always greet us with a smile. The food is delightful, made with fresh ingredients and expertly cooked by David. The staff also have a great sense of humor and join in with our family jokes (shoutout to Louise and Cat). We will definitely be returning. Make sure to make a reservation as it can get busy. The restaurant is currently decorated for Christmas, adding to the festive atmosphere. We have no complaints about our experience. xxx"

"We have been regulars to the mevan since it opened in Leighton and when lockdown happened we missed our favourite Turkish restaurant, as we had many family parties there and we were always treated like royalty by the owners.Then we see that if was being refurbished and found out it was under new ownership we couldn’t wait to see and see if the food was still amazing and hoping to see if the old staff had been retained.We were not disappointed, great refurb and as we walked in there was a new greeter and then the old manager came and gave us a big hug and the best barman in town was still there.We were sat down and it was like we were at home with complimentary shot and nothing was a problem.It was was great to see the restaurant packed and atmosphere great and being treated the same by the new and old staff. The menu had changed slightly and prices had been increased, but this would be expected but the service and food was still amazing if not better.Fully recommend the new look food and restaurant And Alex is the best shot maker and the staff are awesome.See you soon guys and ladies."

"Use to be an advocate for this brand and tell everyone how good their cakes are. But this company went down the hill some time ago, i came some time ago and wasn’t amazed by their desserts as I usually am I realised they changed their nice takeout bags to these cheap yellow bags that was a sign. Came in today to take out saffron and Napoleon cake both were SOUR and OLD, it did not taste fresh at all. With you cutting corners on the quality (changing for cheap bags, keeping cakes out for longer than they should and making them worse quality) you are cutting on your loyal clientele. In the past I always ordered my birthday cakes from Leto religiously, never again. Such a disappointment."

"Not sure if there was a lift but if not disabled access is non existent. Would benefit from background music subtle lighting and a few plants and lamps it’s very clean but clinical and austere. Condiments were requested before food arrived but were left with meal going cold whilst they arrived. Wine choice was Merlot which the waiter thought was on the wine list but alas it was not Shiraz was a pleasant alternative. Although lamb had a tasty bbq taste there was a lot of waste from gristle and sinew the tomato was nice but cold. The meal arrived very quickly more like a cafe than restaurant and thought being called ‘guys’ all the time wasn’t what you would expect"

"Knowing we’d be in Coniston on New Year’s Day (2 adults and 2 children) I booked online at the Yewdale in early Dec to make sure we secured a table, anticipating it might be busy. On arrival we were met by a pleasant waiter who showed us to our reserved table in the mostly empty pub. We were slightly disappointed, having booked a table, to be in the bar area next to a big group of young men who were swearing quite a bit and acting generally laddish. Some of the talk was not something I wanted my daughter who is 7, to hear. Thankfully she was entertained by the colouring menu sheet that was kindly supplied. To be honest I thought we be put in the restaurant bit given we’d booked in advance (the bar reserved for walk ins) but it appeared closed until we were leaving about 6.30pm. Anyway we got on with it as we do as we’re not fussy and there was another family with children there too. Our second disappointment was the big sign saying ‘sorry no pizza today’. Pizza was an option for us and something we were looking forward to having visited in the summer, so this was disappointing. I’d have thought if they weren’t offering pizza they should have told us in advance through the booking system or indicated online. This reduced the menu by 50%. We ordered from the main menu and children’s menu. The children’s fish and chips was excellent and I can’t complain, it was one of the best fish I’ve seen in a child’s menu. The adults lasagne was clearly homemade and tasted ok. Better than it looked . But at 15 I’d have expected it to come with chips not just a bit of garlic bread. Or chips should have been an add on for a couple of given the size of it but they were 4.50 on top. All a bit pricey for what it was and the portion size. The biggest disappointment was the fish pie. I was looking forward to haddock, smoked haddock, salmon and prawns as indicated on the menu. Instead I basically got a bit of haddock (well white fish), a load of spinach, and some cheese mash. No sign of the prawns, smoked salmon or haddock. The buttered greens it came with were leek and green beans and filled half the plate! We didn’t stop for dessert and opted for a chocolate bar at the petrol station instead given how disappointed we were with the mains. Beer selection was good and no issues there and staff were pleasant and attentive. We will probably visit again for pizza but the pub food overall was a let down."

"frightening customer service. rude and indifferentes personal. does not believe that we are booking for afternoon as “we do not take bookings in a weekend”. they gave us a table. tee arrived and the brioche so advertised was missing and the scones were rock hard. When I drew attention to it, I got “so you waited 10 minutes to tell me about the scenes”. there was also a language barrier, or at least it was like they didn't understand what we were trying to tell them. I never had such a terrible experience as this. Avoid this place as the plague. I wish I would be on trip advisor. the reviews for this place are not good."

"An absolutely amazing restaurant. The staff and management are very polite, friendly and approachable. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, clean, bright and colourful. More importantly the toilets are very clean and fully equipped with toilet rolls and soap. Myself, my family and friends have never had a bad meal there. We always look forward to dining in Panas. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in Twickenham."

"Old hostelry beautifully restored and well appointed. Wonderful views and good private parking. Food excellent, served quickly and hot! Great waitress, chatty, witty and well informed about the menu. Lots of patience with my elderly mother-in-law, didn't get her name, shame. Taken off a star for a couple of reasons. If you're visiting with an elderly person or someone who has limited mobility, let them know when you book. It can be a wee walk to the toilet. Also the only toilet on the ground floor is the disabled one, the others are on the first floor. Looked to me as though it got a lot of use, it was untidy, smelled unpleasant and the hand drier didn't work. I did mention it to the bar staff so hopefully something was done, in the short term at least. Would l go back or recommend it? Absolutely, now that l know what to expect."
